AGAINST THE LAW
A Joe the Bouncer Thriller
Kicked out of both Harvard and the military, living with his grandmother while he overcomes his own demons, few would suspect that the city's most powerful criminals call on?Joe?Brody when they are desperate for help.??
This third installment in the Joe Brody series opens with Joe in the?poppy fields of Afghanistan, about to eliminate the ultimate source for heroin coming into New York and funding terror overseas. But as usual, things are not what they seem, and the trail leads back to?the streets of New York City, where a mysterious group of mercenaries are?seizing control of the drug trade and?launching a brutal city-wide gang war. Once again the city's underworld bosses turn to Joe, as their?sheriff, and once again Joe turns to his?friendsa hometown all-star team of thievesand to Yelena, his lethal former lover and Russian partner in crime, to pull off a series of complex capers, from safe-cracking to hi-jacking?to?infiltrating secured?military sites.??
Meanwhile, FBI agent Donna Zamora joins forces with the NYPD to avert a new threat, all the while dipping her toes in the dating pool and deciding whether her inevitable showdown with Joe will end in bed or prison. As?their paths converge, and time runs out, they expose a high-level conspiracy, involving corporate and government power, to control US politics by manipulating terror, money and?media, all funded by drugs. The chase takes them from the streets of Spanish Harlem to a corporate high-rise, from a Matzoh warehouse in deepest Brooklyn to the 9/11 memorial, from a high-security military depot to a bloody Russian bathhouse, all while they themselves are being hunted by villains, by the law, and by the shadowy figures who use the law for evil,?leaving criminals to protect and?serve.??
David Gordon holds an MA in English and Comparative Literature and an MFA in Writing, both from Columbia University, and has worked in film, fashion, publishing and pornography. He is the author of The Serialist, which won the VCU/Cabell First Novel Award and was a finalist for an Edgar Award, and Mystery Girl, as well as a short story collection, White Tiger on Snow Mountain. His work has appeared in the Paris Review, the New York Times, and the Los Angeles Review of Books, among other publications.
